If you're using a custom recovery, you can back up the kernel from it before flashing and just restore it if you're not satisfied. If you aren't using one, but are rooted, you can use ADB commands to backup the boot partition. see below:

Yes... if you're rooted and can achieve adb shell SU, simply run this command from terminal or ADB shell: First make sure you have extracted the zip file and transferred the new kernel (boot.img) to your phone's internal or external storage. my commands assume you have transferred it to internal storage.

To back up current kernel run: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/bootCURRENT.img

To flash new kernel (reverse the command): dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

To restore your backed up kernel: dd if=/sdcard/bootCURRENT.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

Also, installing it manually like this, you will also need to modify your build.prop and push it back to your phone in order to get WiFi working.

You can do this with root explorer, or any other text editor on your phone: open /system/build.prop and scroll towards the bottom and look for "ro.securestorage.support=true" and change it to false.

All of this is done automatically by flashing the zip, so this is only for those who want to manually install the kernel.

Thank you! see below for information regarding your CPU:

It appears as though the average is a 2, which isn't bad at all. Mine is a 2 as well, and I know a few people who have a 3. Basically, the higher your PVS, the more capable your processor is of handling voltages and overclocking. It was probably manufactured more towards the center wafer of the silicone.

Using PVS 1 2 and 3 as examples:

A CPU with PVS 1 can achieve stock speeds of 2.26GHz while using 1075mV.

A CPU with PVS 2 can achieve stock speeds of 2.26GHz while using 1050mV.

A CPU with PVS 3 can achieve stock speeds of 2.26GHz while using 1025mV.

Now, this is not to say that your CPU is unable to achieve the same as a PVS 3 or higher, but for averages and stability, that is the voltage that was chosen. That is where the UV_mV_table comes in. Here you can experiment with different voltages with a CPU app such as SetCPU, System Tuner, etc. Keep in mind that experimenting with voltages doesn't guarantee stability and you do so at your own risk. That's not to say you will fry your phone or anything, but you never know. The suggested path to follow in under/overvolting is to start off with -12.5mV or +12.5mV and test for stability. For instance, if your phone isn't very stable at a high overclock, you would add 12.5mV to the speed you're trying to achieve and see if that helps. The same goes for undervolting. All current voltages are stock and will not be changed by me. The overclocking voltages were calculated based on the table for stock voltages.

Hope all this helps and happy overclocking!

It's actually been at 2956 in set cpu for short time, but it when it starts heating up it starts dropping in quadrant so I don't really see the need. I don't put much faith in quadrant as far as comparing to others, but I do feel it's a good tool to judge the same device after making changes from a base line. It's set to boot at 2880 and all seems well. I'm not a gamer or video streamer, so my use really does not warrant this, but hey, why not, right ? :cool: Something about reaching 30,000 in a quadrant score from a base line of 22,000 that's a bit captivating.

EDIT : I should also say here that as freeza and others have posted, mileage will vary per device. Just because mine is up this high does not mean they all will. I also am going through titanium backup and freezing things that I personally do not want or need, so the device, along with personal preferences are huge factors in these rather arbitrary benchmark scores.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
No doubt. Like them or not, the compulsion to top a benchmark is always there. In December 1 I hit 39,200 in AnTuTu using your settings. Someone whom shall remain nameless was pushing me to cap 40,000, but I relented. Thing got too hot for my tolerance.

But, ya know, I have one now that's dang stable, and I might just try it. I'll report to anon. I'll ask the nameless dude to cool his jets.

If this one can get and stay at the top setting in set cpu and be stable, while maintaining whatever score it achieves, I'm done. It will be, and is already, a beast in whatever category it lands in. It was fine for my use stock out of the box, but if a little bit is good, then a whole lot must be better eh? lol ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Absolutely. It's a law of the wheeling universe that more is always better. Applies to everything, moderation sucks.

First test on an already warm device @ 2880/300 ondemand row

.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
You're killing me. I just uninstalled the dang program because my phone was draining juice while plugged in.

I set it at 2880, with all profiles set at performance, with on charger the priority exclusive profile. Now I'm going to change that to interactive and give it another run.

If I crash my phone, it will have been worth it. It's exactly like finishing a marathon and not leaving the couch. I think I'll eat an extra dessert while testing.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twig49:
LOL, nothing like a little friendly competition. I guess I'll poke around in this new app and see what the default settings are then. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twig49:
Set CPU @2956/300 ondemand row. No other changes.

EDIT: It's plenty warm so testing stability at above settings before setting boot. Initial opinion is GPU is a bottleneck for these benchmarking tools as they seem to stay consistent as long as CPU speed is enough. I'm sure other system architecture plays in as well, but fast and stable is fast and stable. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twig49:
Stability passed at 2956/300 ondemnd row. ;)

I went right to a benchmark retest and it shut down to reboot. I'm assuming from of the thermal shutdown limiter because it's damn hot.

Conclusion: It will run at 2956/300 ondemand row as an everyday driver. Looks like 39,211 is the best I can manage for now. ;)

I'll take it out of the otterbox and plug it back in while it cools and try again later. Going back into TB and freezing a few more things ? I don't think 40,000 is out of the question on a cool device honestly. At least on this cool device. ;)

Stability ss below.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
The problem with that test is it jumps all over the place. My high was 39,288. And my Ballistic SG Case was on, same thing happened to me. Next score was crazy low. I just hit 38,000 with no crash, but I'm running a test kernel.

This one isn't warming up as bad. I'm not going to tempt it, at least for the foreseeable 30 minutes:D

I had done all that earlier except for the folder. Did your full procedure and it crashes in a different way now. The testing window disappears but the icon is still in the notification that says "Testing, please wait...." Before it just shut down all the way. The only way it would run was to back the speed down to normal levels. I have to force close it now to get rid of the icon up there as it's not finishing the test.

Voyager Pro+ running fine here as well.

Except for the Antutu issue (app related imo), everything runs fine. I set it to boot at 2956/300 ondemand row and and forgot it.

I finally did check the bin and it shows a 1, but it's not given me a lick of trouble at these settings day in and day out. Maybe I got lucky, but this combination of Odexed Blue/ Beast 2.32 just works. Nothing goofy, no random reboots, hangs, nothing. It's just a fast, pretty beast that eats everything I throw at it without a hiccup and won't quit.

I love freeza's kernels but for some odd reason my battery life has been horrible and phone has been unstable ever since flashing new kernels above 1.2. Anyone else having issues? I use the phone almost constantly through out the day, and with any other version of the kernel besides 1.2, my battery life last only 5-6 hours, but with 1.2 the battery life is freaking awesome and lasting 14-15 hours of the same usage. I pretty much use this phone almost to max, I always have tons of things running, play lots of videos, games. Current setting is 2.88 ondemand row. Maybe I'm setting it up wrong, any suggestions? And everything I run is important so no I can't turn anything off.. While in task manager in the ram section it is usually around 1.80-1.90 used, when I clear it, the lowest it goes is 1.50 of memory used...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Let it settle in and cycle one charge. Don't even have to let it go to zero. After a few boot cycles, you're back to standard. Every phone is different, but at least this could give you a baseline.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
There ya go. I'm certain that your brightness is the big one. Dial it down, ya could get burn-in with it that high.

Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blackcanopy:
Your screen being the highest is a good sign. You want that higher than anything else. After flashing the kernel, are you wiping cache? Sometimes that helps with battery drain. At times (after a kernel flash) the CPU stays in the high range for a long period of time. Clearing cache and dalvic cache seems to help settle the kernel in a little quicker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vizi0nz:
That's good to know, I always wipe cache 3x before and after install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blackcanopy:
After flashing the kernel, I like to open SetCPU to see if the CPU is settling down to 300 mhz. If it isn't, it'll definitely eat on your battery. That's how I noticed when that happens, wiping cache seems to get it straightened out on next boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vizi0nz:
I must be going blind haha but when the brightness is too low, I just can't see and it hurts my eyes trying to focus. I'm using this one app that leaves the brightness at 50% or more if needed. For some reason lux or the original brightness manager doesn't work well. I remember times when I'm outside and the sun hits my phone and the screen does not adjust and when it does, it actually gets dimmer and I literally can't see anything. Hope my light sensor is not broken.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Yup, or Perhaps I'm an Idiot...

Yup, I do all that, too, but not because I should. I do it because I flash crap all of the time. Good crap, mind you, I mean, if Gunthermic or Kryten2k35 made it, it's the best crap on the planet. It's been Bear certified, right?

Anyway, the reason that I'm an idiot is that every time an update of one or another hits (that'd be your awesome fault, [MENTION=4930664]cerj[/MENTION]), so I'm never more than 8 hours from my next flash.

And why do I look at the CPU settling? Because I like the number 300. Pure coincidence that it's a good number to be on every once and a while. .

More cowbell.

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

I hear ya on brightness outdoors, but you see, I'm near-sighted like -6.50 in each eye, and far-sighted about +2.00, and I refuse to wear bifocals. So I'm always just shoving that big screen to my face. It has the added benefit of letting those around me know that I'm completely disinterested in any form of human contact. Win-win.

FWIW, I keep auto-brightness off, and I also turn off that dang auto-adjust screen tone. I like movie-mode (a bit less pop in the colors, the way I like my Super Amoled). Try those to see if you get a bit better battery life, or at least tolerable brightness for your own needs. And stay indoors. The light sucks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blackcanopy:
This is copy /paste from OP...

BeastMode BETA is now being released with 3 versions:

CALM: This is essentially CatMode but with all other non OC/UV related tweaks done as well. This means no L2 or bus changes, but all other changes are included.

ROAR: This is a step up and includes a slight bump for L2 with a slightly higher L2 in frequencies 2.3-2.41 GHz. (Most phones should handle this fine.)

RAGE: This is BeastMode in its current form with a heavy bump for L2 as well as bus with the highest bump in frequencies 2.3-2.41 GHz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Rage bro. Just start with that, and use SetCPU as shown below. If you open up that program a few times while you're running it, and ya find the clock speed drop down to 300 quickly, you will know it's working.
